[Politics] Brexit

[Thunder Bolt]

Are we supposed to believe this? Why don't the UK government ramp up the pound with a few well chosen words then?

Here, I'll try.....pound....sterling.....good. Fill yer boots everyone.

I'm not sure your words have the same clout as the Financial Times. Good effort, though.

The sterling parity race. My money is on the $ as I think the Euro will come down with us.

Luckily for me I earn USD in Costa Rica. Hoping for a strong pound recovery though as planning to bring my business back to London/Brighton at some point in the future!

More good brexit news then.

We're well and truly ****ed, aren't we?

The pound has been lower than this before, inflation was about 20 % in 1975 yet over the years people have still had jobs and homes , we're not living in cardboard shanty towns or scavenging for food.
Some of you youngsters need to get a grip and stop being so sensationalistic .

Smear : damage the reputation of (someone) by false accusations; slander.

This is a 'smear'? Really? Is it not reporting the news?

I'm gutted this has all happened with Brexit, it really is pushing me towards continuing to work in Asia. I have some income from renting out my family home in Sussex though and whilst my earnings over here improve should I bring them back to the UK, the rent money is now not worth converting to currencies and is instead encouraging me to save it up in the UK banks (despite awful interest). Who knows if the whole UK goes tits up I might finally be able to afford to live in Brighton one day! Unless Chinese and Russians buy everything up and feck the younger generation's situation up even more.

You can, of course, confirm that you doing your bit by renting it out at well below market prices to young people . .

No. I was being sarcastic.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Wouldn't it be better if all financial transactions on the currency markets were made through Bet365?

 

[Tory Boy]

Of course a low pound helps places that rely on tourists and international students.

Anywhere local spring to mind.

[Mackenzie]

This'll help our exports. What is it that we manufacture again?

 

[W.C.]

No. I was being sarcastic.

Don't mind me!

It seems the Brexit effect is starting to bite and the uncertain period we've been going through since the 23rd is finally beginning to take shape, I hope I'm wrong but I can only see worrying times ahead getting much worse before there is any improvement, still on the bright side it should have the desired effect of some who voted out, who in their right mind would want to migrate here under these current economic and political uncertainties, with the party I have always voted for now completely unelectable with no viable opposition to the conservatives giving them a mandate to do whatever they want. No doubt the usual suspects will delight in informing how "they won, live with it etc etc" I just hope we don't all live to regret the decision, even though I personally could not vote as I was living out of the country at the time but would certainly have been remain had I been here.

Things such as the exchange rate ebb and flow as they always have done. We seem to have record levels of employment, and those exporting will welcome this low rate for the pound, as will foreign tourists. It is not all doom and gloom, so you would be better just waiting to see how it all pans out, instead of wanting to see the darker side, regardless. You may be right, but then again, Brexit is at a very early stage. By the way, I voted remain as well.

Well we are good at manufacturing and exporting z-list celebrities

 

[GOM]

Just shows how weak the GBP is at present and how low it could go as Brexit progresses.
Keep smiling as we have our country back even if its currency is virtually worthless

If you have any of that worthless currency lying about I am willing to take it of your hands.

Of course, imports cost a lot more, so fuel costs will be rising rapidly, making transport of food more expensive, which will mean higher prices at the pump and in supermarkets.
